The album that all other shoegaze is compared against. Such an amazing guitar sound...it is no wonder Kevin Shields basically had to retire after this one. So influential that Billy Corgan and the Pumpkins pretty much ripped it off for Siamese Dream. Such a vibe...as someone who generally doesn't care about lyrics this type of music is very much my alley. Probably why it is a top 30 of all timer for me. 5/5

What an amazing album...absolute classic. In the words of Eddie Argos of Art Brut...I found myself baffled in my early 30's wondering "how have I only just discovered the Replacements?" Clearly the highlight of an impressive catalogue, including some of my all time favs like "I Will Dare" and "Seen Your Video", this one could truly be considered "My Favorite Thing". 5/5

Funky, but ultimately not my cup of tea. 2.5/5

Just blows. What a terrible album. Would go negative if I could.

Decent. Not a huge fan of rap of the era. 3/5

Man...I really want to love the boss. Born to Run is such an alpha tier song, but the rest just isn't on the same level. 3.5/5
Rated 8/10
Surprisingly enjoyed this one quite a bit. The slower songs weren't that great, but really like the dark 80s synth sound of the rest. 4/5

Dizzee has such a unique voice and style. I feel this album really paved the way for future Grime rappers...a genre I still enjoy to this day. 4/5

Don't love live albums, don't love the Who...not a great combo for me. 2/5
Rated 2/10
Big Black has got to be one of the most overrated bands ever. Just a bunch of aimless noise. I appreciate what Albini has done as a producer, but the music blows. 1.5/5
Rated 4/10
Nothing special. Went into this one expecting far more. Would never listen again. 2/5
